How are you doing on your New Year resolutions? I want to share one of my goals for 2015. On Monday, I began the Sweathogs training with Vinny Zaloom at the Staten Island Board of Realtors. I'm part of a winning team--“The A-Listers” consisting of real estate professionals of varied ages with varied experience. After a 4 1/2-hour session, we left with training/mentoring, much enthusiasm, the tools to build a business plan, improve our work habits and as a team, to encourage each other to list and sell real estate. We were told to identify our goals on a 8 ½ x 11 sheet of paper. How is that for an opportunity? Is your goal a world class cruise around the world with family, a new home, Harvard tuition for a gifted grandchild or that much-dreamed- about hot tub on your backyard deck? This seems so simple yet many of us forget that goals should be measured in time--3 months, a year or long term. Only you can decide. If you are a real estate professional, there is still an opportunity to join us at Sweathogs on Monday morning. Call Vinny today at 917-539-4798 or e-mail him at vzcentury21@yahoo.com.

Staten Island MakerSpace, 450 Thompson Ave. is featuring “Sewing with Nan Smith” from 6-8 (teens through adults) through 1/29 all levels welcome. One of the best skills I ever learned was sewing from my Aunt Sophie when I was a mere teen. I made dresses, suits, coats, baby clothes, pants—the list is endless. This is a great class! A four-week workshop “Women, Welding and Wine” will focus on steel MIG (metal inert gas) welding with an overview of a variety of metal fabrication tools, materials and techniques. By the end of the class, you will have a good grasp of the welding process and make your own wine rack. Each session will be followed by wine tasting through 1/27.
